Areas Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound Serves

Animal Control services are limited to the City of Creston. Spay/Neuter funding is limited to City of Creston and Union County. Adoptions are limited to the State of Iowa.

Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound's Adoption Process

Animals are available for adoption after the 7 day stray hold time has expired. There is a $40.00 adoption fee. The State of Iowa requires all animals adopted from this facility to be sterilized. This cost is in addition to the $40.00 and paid for by the adopter. The city also requires a Rabies vaccination, paid for by the adopter. Adopters are usually allowed 1 to 3 months to fulfill their contract.
Adoptions can not be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator. The animal must reside at the address on the contract. Call ahead for an appointment, 641-782-2330 leave a message.
We ask that you fill out an application prior to adoption. You can print one from our website or you can email CARE (mdowney@iowatelecom.net) with your name and address and we can email or snail-mail you an application. We can not adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications. We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. The applications usually take 3-5 days to review so please be patient. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone.

About Creston Animal Rescue Effort/ Creston City Pound

The Creston City Pound is a holding facility for stray/abandoned animals within Creston City limits. Animals are held for 7 days to give owners time to claim their pets. After this time they become available for adoption. Here is where a dedicated group of volunteers come in. Creston Animal Rescue Effort (CARE), established in 1998, helps to get these pets adopted into new, permanent homes. We publish their photos in the local paper, hang flyers around the community, update this website and Face Book, host fundraisers and supply the pets with treats, vet care and love. Please be patient, ALL our work is done by volunteers who have full-time jobs and families. When calling please be sure you speak clearly and leave a phone number. You may also email CARE at mdowney@iowatelecom.net
